"From then on, the one with us was the fake Wangye, while the real Wangye left with Miss Gao Ying and Brigade Commander Xu. At this time, the news that we arranged for Wangye to act alone had not spread, and it was much safer for Wangye to act alone than with us.
After that, we arrived at Xiangcheng, and Wangye, under the escort of Gao Ying and Brigade Commander Xu, passed through Luyang Pass first. Because Wangye's health was not good, and he couldn't take a carriage or a horse, he was too big of a target, so he hid after passing Luyang Pass according to my previous arrangement.
The Wangye you saw in the inn in Lushan County was still Miss Gu. After that, I allowed everyone to go out on the streets, giving the traitor a chance to send the news. I pretended to go with Miss Gu to buy the medicine needed for the disguise, but in fact, I was secretly watching the most suspicious people among you … "
At this point, Yang Fan smiled at Huang Xuchang, who had an ugly expression on his face, and teased, "Of course, I told Commander Huang that he and the inner guards should keep an eye on the suspicious ones among you, while Miss Gu and I went to buy the disguise medicine. Brigade Commander Huang, you didn't expect that I was behind you when you were watching others and secretly informing your spies, right? "
Huang Xuchang angrily said: "Bullshit! If I was a traitor, why would I risk my life in Gushui Town? I killed several assassins who rushed to Wangye's bedroom! "
Yang Fan leisurely said: "Of course! At that time, you knew that Wangye had been moved by me, and only I was waiting in the room, would you choose to expose your identity? They are not your blood brothers, in order to protect yourself, what can't you do? "
Huang Xuchang angrily stared at Yang Fan, and after a long time, suddenly smiled sinisterly: "Smart! Really smart! I can't believe that you've been telling me everything and discussing it with me. In the end, even I've fallen into your scheme. Yang Fan, you're really smart! "
As soon as Huang Xuchang said this, there was no doubt that he admitted his identity. Everyone suddenly burst into an uproar. Yue Ziqin, Zhang Xitong, Wei Yong, and the others suddenly burst into an uproar. Tian Yan, whose arm was cut to the bone and was likely to be disabled, even glared at Huang Xuchang with tears in his eyes: "Hello! Hello! I called you big brother in vain, followed you through life and death, you … you beast in human form! "
Huang Xuchang suddenly shouted crazily: "Shut up! I bathed in blood on the battlefield and went through life and death several times, so what? Am I not just a little brigade commander? As long as I complete this task, Wei Wang will promise to make me a general! Being a great general, bringing honor to your ancestors and bringing good fortune to your descendants. If you were me, would you be willing to say no to such benefits? "
What answered him was a heavy thump. Tian Yan spat on his face.
Yang Fan's eyes flashed and he immediately asked, "Are you someone sent by King Wei?"
Huang Xuchang sneered and said, "Now that I've already fallen into your hands, you can do whatever you want to me. Why are you still asking so much? "Ye, I, I lost, what? Wangye, on, I, Wangye, I, Ye, I, "Lu" Commander, "Ling, Ling Wang," has sent on saying, "Wang," on, on, you, I, Wangye, has. Wangye, Wangye Wang is. They already know the truth. The Prince of Luling can't escape. Once he dies, all of you will die. On the road to the Yellow Springs, I'm just one step ahead! "
Everyone was furious. Wei Yong and Zhang Xitong were about to draw their sabers and cut him down when Yang Fan raised his hand to stop them. He sneered at Huang Xuchang: "I'll have to disappoint you on this point. I still have to thank you for sending out the news, letting them know that the Prince of Luling is not with us. This way, we can protect His Highness safely on his way back to the capital."
Huang Xuchang was dumbfounded and his expression slowly changed. "What do you mean?"
Yang Fan smiled: "As I said, His Highness is not in good health and can't ride a carriage. He won't be able to travel long on horseback, so after passing Luyang Pass, he went into hiding according to my arrangements."
Yang Fan smiled and pointed at a cluster of buildings in the distance. "His Highness is currently hiding in Ye County. We'll immediately go pick him up and travel day and night to Luoyang. By the time your people are still searching for traces of His Highness's party of three, we'll have already safely arrived at Luoyang! "
"You treacherous villain …"
Huang Xuchang's hopes were dashed and he madly charged at Yang Fan. With a pop, Gu Zhuting, who was disguised as the Prince of Luling, stabbed him in the chest and kicked him into the air, sending him rolling down a grassy slope. Those who sold their brothers for riches and glory were only fit to be buried in the wilderness and fed on the bellies of wolves.
Yang Fan sneered and said to Gu Zhuting, who had just wiped the blood off her saber, "I'll have to trouble you next. Continue to disguise yourself as His Highness and show yourself in a few places from time to time. They should be completely convinced by Huang Xuchang's news, and with your occasional appearance, it should be enough to attract their attention. When they want to find you, just remove your disguise. I believe they won't be able to find you then. "
Gu Zhuting nodded. "In that case, there's no need to have people follow me. Too many people will make it inconvenient to move around. When needed, I can hire two people to help me put on an act. This will only confuse them even more."
Yang Fan pondered for a moment and then said with concern, "Then … be careful!"
Gu Zhuting nodded and smiled sweetly.
The Prince of Luling's sweet smile sent a chill down everyone's spine.
… …
By the time Yang Fan's group arrived at Ye County, the city gates were already closed.
Yang Fan's group was now 'ignored by dogs' and was not worried that the assassins would cause trouble for them. Moreover, the louder they made a ruckus, the less suspicious the assassins would be. As a result, they changed their usual low profile and directly flashed the turtle talismans of the guards and guards, telling them to open the city gates and break into the city.
Upon hearing the news, the County Magistrate of Ye County hurriedly came to welcome them. The group didn't state the purpose of their visit and just stayed in the county's inn. After taking a hot bath and a hot meal, they relaxed to their heart's content.
After entering the city, Yang Fan left with Lan Yiqing, Wei Yong, and Zhang Xitong. Led by Yang Fan, they shuttled through the alleys of the county. It was unknown what marks Gao Ying had left behind, but Yang Fan led them here and there until they finally found the Prince of Luling, Xu Liang, and Gao Ying at the end of a small alley.
Yang Fan brought the three of them back to the inn. Only then did everyone settle down.
After breakfast the next morning, Yang Fan gathered everyone and solemnly said, "Although we used a trick to deceive the assassins and eliminate the traitor, a long night is fraught with trouble. We have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders. As long as Your Highness doesn't arrive at the capital, we can't relax. I've already asked Ye County to prepare fast horses for us. All the injured will stay here and recuperate. The rest will follow me to escort Your Highness to the capital. "
Gao Ying cheerfully said, "Good! It's a distance of three hundred li from Ye County to Luoyang. If we rapidly march, we can travel one hundred and fifty li in one day and two days to reach Luoyang. "
Wei Yong interrupted her. "Commandant Gao, with His Highness's health, I'm afraid he won't be able to travel that fast."
Gao Ying said, "In that case, a hundred li a day should be possible. If we travel one hundred li a day, we can reach Luoyang by the third day at the latest!"
Yang Fan shook his head. "Do you think those assassins are idiots for us to march at such a rapid pace? Within one hundred li, we'll still move ostentatiously and confuse them. We'll march this one hundred li in two days. On the third day, we'll pick up speed and travel at a speed of one hundred and fifty li a day. On the fourth day, we'll reach Luoyang by noon. This way, Your Highness's body should be able to endure it. Moreover, the assassins won't be able to react in time. Even if they realize that they've been tricked, they won't be able to give chase. "
Everyone nodded in agreement. Prince Luling said gratefully, "For the sake of Li Xian's life, these warriors have gone through fire and water and risked their lives. Li Xian … I really don't know how to thank you."
Li Guo 'er smiled. "In the future, if Father can win the favor of Imperial Grandmother and be entrusted with a great task, at that time, don't forget these warriors who have sworn to follow you to death."
Prince Luling repeatedly said, "Of course, don't dare to forget!"
The group of people had decided on a plan and immediately set out. They arrived at Wuyang on the same day and Xiangcheng on the next. They bypassed Mount Lu and Longxing counties and went straight from Jia City to Luoyang. Along the way, they moved slowly and deliberately showed off. They stayed one night in Wuyang and one night in Xiangcheng. On the third day, after leaving Xiangcheng, they suddenly sped up and passed through Jia City as fast as lightning, heading straight for Ruzhou.
In order to prevent others from figuring out their current whereabouts, they spent the night outside Ruzhou. The next morning, they suddenly entered the city and urgently replenished some food and water. They immediately left without stopping, bypassing Yingyang on the same night. At this time, on their left was Dragon Gate Yi Que, on their right was Dengfeng, and in front of them was the eastern capital, Luoyang.
With victory in sight, everyone was extremely excited. However, because they had been hurrying all the way, they were tired and their horses were tired. In addition, the moon and stars were dim tonight. One of the horses had already broken its leg due to exhaustion and the unclear path. It was really difficult for them to continue.
Everyone gritted their teeth and continued for a while. Wei Yong couldn't help but say to Yang Fan, "Erlang, we really can't go on. Now that we have arrived here, there shouldn't be any more danger. Why don't we find a place to rest and continue tomorrow morning? We will reach Luoyang before noon."
Yang Fan also urged his horse to move forward. The horse's legs were heavy as if it had sunk into a swamp. The horse's breathing was heavy and sweat was dripping down its mane. Hearing Wei Yong's words and seeing that everyone really couldn't move, he could only nod his head in agreement.
Yang Fan looked around and saw that it was a vast wilderness. There was only a flash of light in front of them on the left. He wasn't sure if it was the Yi River or a tributary of the Luo River. He pointed with his horsewhip and said, "Let's spend the night there!"
Everyone was already exhausted. Hearing that they could finally rest, they cheered up and struggled to the riverside. Some of them fell off their horses and lay there motionless, not even bothering to take off their sleeping bags.
Li Guo'er had been sitting in the carriage for a day, but her whole body was sore and numb. She wanted to jump on the ground and run two laps to relieve her fatigue. When the carriage stopped, she jumped down. Seeing Yang Fan standing beside the flowing water and looking ahead, she slowly walked to his side and said in a low voice, "You … are really good!"
Yang Fan smiled and didn't say anything. Li Guo'er bit her lip and said gently, "My man is capable, my heart … is very happy!"
